As you all know, I like Target. A lot. I always find the cutest things in their dollar bins. I bought a few of these light bulb shaped post it notes and included some on the front of the card for her to use.

On a side note, I chose this light bulb theme because it went with the gift I gave her that day. For her birthday, I got her one of THESE. I got one as well and LOVE it. It's a perfect mini light that I take to crops and retreats.

The next card is a card I made for my friend's daughter who started college this week. I wanted a fun and bright card, so I broke out the neon papers and inks and here is what I came up with....

I also found a neon pink library card pocket in my scrapbook stash so I stuck some spending money inside and wrote her a little note on it telling her good luck...

I hope this inspires you to put a little something extra inside your next card. Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'd thought I'd share a picture of my latest obsession. I can't seem to get enough of enamel dots lately. They seem to be the perfect finishing touch to any project. Here are a few examples..

I decided to play with some distress markers and a stencil to create the background of this card. Not really what I had pictured in my head, but I like it. Sometimes the happy accidents are the best part of being creative. I'm loving the blue/green color combo lately.

I also used some enamel dots to finish off the flowers on this card...﻿

It's hard to see in the picture but I'm also loving white ink on kraft cardstock. It gives a ghost-like look. On this card I stamped the Hero Arts Envelope Background stamp using THIS ink.
